I have been eating a lot of mithai lately and now my skin feels itchy especially at night. Im in my 7th month. Maybe its unrelated but i started wondering if sweets are the reason, anyone else felt this?
My doctor explained that intense itching, particularly later in pregnancy, can sometimes point to a liver related condition, so they test for it. Mild itchiness from dry skin is common and harmless. Either way, persistent itching is worth flagging to ur gynac.
Sweets dont directly cause itching, but persistent itching in pregnancy shouldnt be brushed off. I had to get my levels and liver checked when i itched a lot. Please mention ongoing itching to ur doctor and do ur regular follow ups.
Itching can be just dry skin, but strong itching especially on palms and soles needs a doctor check in pregnancy. Dont link it only to food. Get it looked at if it continues.
